2025 Halliday Wine Companion

The Halliday Wine Companion has revealed this year's top wines, and we are thrilled to announce that Brokenwood has earned 6 EXCEPTIONAL and 5 OUTSTANDING accolades!

Our iconic 2022 Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz scored an incredible 98 points! Words from Toni Patteron:

"This is an ultra-stylish, well-made Graveyard with tightly coiled fruit and a serious demeanour. In fact, it would be easy to miss its greatness, especially alongside riper styles, if one wasn't paying attention. Quiet and reserved with a youthful crimson hue, the fruit is tensioned within an intricate matrix of acidity and tannin. With aeration, one sees exotic black cherry characters nestled within a dense, sculpted, savoury palate. It's a slender, majestic shiraz that has grace and restrained power. It will be an extremely long-living wine, and I can't wait to see how it transforms with time. One for the future"
